Oxygen interaction with Rh(111) and Ru(0001) surfaces: Bond-forming dynamics

摘要

A new description of bonding and band-forming is presented for the nature and dynamics of O Rh(111) and O Ru(0001) surface tending and its consequences on the behavior of atoms and electrons at the surfaces. The sp-orbital hybridization and electron transportation define that oxygen retains inside the hcp hollow site throughout the course of reaction in which O-1 forms and then O-2-hybrid follows with production of nonbonding lone pairs and the lone-pair induced antibonding dipoles. Consequently, the valence band and surface morphology are modified with the corresponding features, and the radial and pairing-row reconstruction arises in the corresponding phases. [References: 30]
